THE DAUNrLESs ARRIVES.

tSp0culAt10ns Concerning tho Merits OF thl
| Two Yachts.
| LONDON, March 28.-The Dauntlsse
passed Galley Head at q. m. She is sall
right.
| QUEENsrowN, March 28.-The .Dauntless
passed the old head off Kinsalc at 3:l6
O'Clock this afternoon and it will probably
take her two hours to reach the fnishins
line at Roche's point. A tug has left
Queensland with press correspondents to
meet the Dauntlees and accompany her t6 t6
Roche's point. The officers of the Coronet
and the other yachts are greatly pleased
with the result OF the race and say it hiss
shown admirable qualities in both yachts.
Considering the difference in the tonnafe
and the length OF the yachts, the extraof-
binary weather which prevailed during the
voyage, the Dauntless is thought to have
done as well as her competitor. Tk.
friends OF both yachts will be entertained
b, the American Royal Cork Yacht club.
LOST A BowsPRr. +
1t is reported that the Dauntless lost her
bowsprit on the 18th inst, when only three
days from New York.
THE OCEAN RACE DISCUSSED.
NEW YORK, March 27-The rooms Of
the New York Yacht Club were well filed
to-day with members of the club, discusss
ing the result of the ocean race between
the Coronet and the Dauntless. It was the:
generally expressed opinion that the race
settles the fact of the Coronet's greater
speed and the superiority of the new style
yacht over those built after the old models
Many. however, of those present seemed
inclined to withhold their opinions until
further particulars of the race are OBJ
tained. 1t was thought there might be
some accident which prevented the Daunt-
less from doing her best. There were signs
of regret for "Collie" Colt, whose yacht
was rather the favorite with the club.
QUEENSTOWN, March 28.-The Dauntless
crossed the finishing line at 6:45 o'clock.
Her actual time was sixteen days, one hour,
forty three minutes and thirteen seconds.
She has been towed into harbor. and is now
safely at anchor.
LONDON, March 28.-Caldwell Colt, who
owned the Dauntless, says that he en-
more wind than he bargained for.
For sixteen hours his boat was obliged to
lay to. Once she scudded before the gale
under bare poles. When last seen from the
deck uf the Coronet on the evening of the
start the Dauntless was steering south
but during the night her course
was changed to northeast to east. On
March 16 she ran into a heavy Cross sea, |
with strong south gale. Oil was used |
with good effect to break the waves, and |
the yacht weathered her first storm well. |
The next day the

began to leak slightly. Tie temperature

'ince last Thursday the weather was fine.
IN the 25th 1913 miles were made, which is
